A 33-year-old Toronto man with suspected ties to Hamas is facing a terrorism charge following his alleged conduct during a 2024 demonstration.Toronto police say the man attended a pair of pro-Palestinian demonstrations on May 25, 2024 and Sept. 7, 2024, where they allege he used an amplification device to make public statements calling for harm against members of the Israeli and Jewish communities.On Mar. 7, 2025, a search warrant was executed at a Toronto home, and multiple electronic devices were seized. With the assistance of the Toronto Police Service Hate Crime Unit and the RCMP, investigators uncovered evidence to support claims that the man acted on behalf of Hamas. On July 21, 2026, Ahmad Hassan Hajahmad was arrested and charged with participating in or contributing to activities of a terrorist group. No further details of the investigation have been released due to a publication ban. “Investigations into criminal offences committed at demonstrations do not end when the event is over,” Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said in a statement.“These complex investigations underscore the importance of continuing to strengthen our Counter Terrorism Security Unit so we can identify and investigate evolving threats to public safety. We will continue to hold those who break the law accountable, no matter how long it takes.”
